Accurate.
Also DragonPass activated for free is a good deal.
I believe the primary holder just has to be on the booking to get free bags for everyone in the same reservation. You do not need to use that card to book and it doesn't matter if it's booked via WJ direct or through travel agency.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Now that we are traveling again, the Scotiabank Gold Amex with no foreign exchange fee is pretty awesome. Between the 2 trips in the past 6 weeks I already saved the equivalent in annual dues just on no foreign transaction fees.

don't know if I've been living under a rock for a while but looks like West Jet World Elite Travel Vouchers can be exchanged for 4 lounge vouchers

Not worth it
Lounge access might be the most overvalued travel gimmick on the planet.
Nice to have, but nowhere near as nice as people think.
They let everyone and their dog ( often literally ) in these days.

True, I also dont mind the general airport lounges
It would have been nice to have during covid time when we ended up with unused vouchers
Oh that's amazing! I think only the Platinum does the same 'no forex' deal on the AMEX card family.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This is now our fav credit card. Just came back from a family vacation. Between hotel, car rental and all the charges, we saved ~$250 in forex fees on this trip alone, and still collected 1% equivalent in points.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was immensely disappointed when i finally got a chance to use my Platinum card in YYZ. Place was packed, cafeteria food, no free booze haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
BUT the Winnipeg lounge was decent, first class service.
Canceled my platinum card. Was barely getting value. Looking for the next card churn but deals look slim these days.

Magical internet money for everyone!
The one thing I’ll give Air Canada is their lounges are actually nice, and they don’t participate in many of these lounge pass nonsense giveaways.
Pretty decent experience if you are flying business+ with them.

As mentioned, the AC lounge at Pearson is complete ass. Not worth the elevator ride up to it.
If you can get access to it, the Bistro/Cafe alternative that AC has there is way better.
I just don’t travel through Pearson. Problem solved.

I like the Air Canada Cafe they have at YYZ, wish we had one here at YYC. You can go in grab a coffee then pick up a bag on the way out to bring food/drinks to enjoy on your flight. I just gave the kids a bag let them loose hahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Westjet elevation lounge in Calgary is awesome. QR code menu ordering with delivery to your table. I can even get a crown and coke with half coke half soda water. I save so many calories on that one crown and coke that I can fit in like 8 more whiskeys on ice. The short ribs with mash and brocollini w/ side of kale salad was so good compared to most airport gruel.
Tap, Rack, BANG!
I have to agree. First time going there was last Friday. Really enjoyed it. Place was busy but still quiet and calm. Staff was excellent. Food was pretty good. Booze was good. Got in with Priority Pass.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Looking around
Wondering what became
Of what I once knew
Westjet Elevation lounge is easily the best lounge in YYC and likely one of the best in Canada (haven't yet had the chance to check out Air Canada's "Signature Suites" in YVR or YYZ). Maple Leaf Lounges (including the ones in YYZ) are perfectly fine - they all have free booze, and the only ones I'm not a fan of are the domestic ones in YVR and YUL, as they're often at capacity with lineups out the door. Food quality has also declined a bit in all the MLLs as they did away with the QR code ordering at YVR/YYC/YYZ/YUL last November - great to hear that there is still ordering via QR code at the Elevation Lounge. The MLL in YYC is unique in that they have a permanent bar - for all other MLLs the alcohol is self serve. The bar at the Elevation Lounge is however way better stocked than the YYC MLL, so in terms of cocktails Elevation Lounge easily wins there. Plaza Premiums can vary quite a bit - haven't yet checked out the ones in YVR or YYZ, but the one in YEG has a better beer selection (but charges for liquor) compared to the MLL across the hall. The Plaza Premium in YWG is surprisingly decent with way more hot food than the YWG MLL (it only has soups as hot items).
If you can get access to Priority Pass and fly out of YYC several times a year I'd say it's worth it for the Westjet Elevation lounge - I'd happily pay $20-$25 a visit out of pocket for it. Access to the typical MLL or Plaza Premium lounge would be worth about $12-$15 IMO.
I believe only the Scotiabank branded Gold Amex has no forex fees. The standard Amex Canada card line up all has forex fees.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
